And it has also come up on our scans!

But is it a good setup?

Olam net profit up 29%

Factors for:

• It’s breaking out from a consolidation area.

Factors against:

• It’s breaking out on low volume.
• The counter has been in a wide consolidation for the past year.

Conclusion:

Based on the technicals, we are not inclined to take any position on this pair due to the lack of trend as well as low volume despite a very good financial report.

Given time, this counter may head higher, but as it is now, the clues are not in favour for a long trade.
